Personal Description:

Hey! I'm Julia and I'm from Ontario, Canada. It's my first year in New Zealand and I'm absolutely loving how beautiful and green it is. I love hiking, sailing, reading books and playing the piano. Can't wait to work with you!

Tutoring Experience:

I'm currently studying at the University of Canterbury to be a secondary school teacher. My specialist subjects are French and Science but I studied psychology in my undergrad so I'm very comfortable with that as well. Although I've never formally tutored, I have a lot of experience working with students and have provided guidance and general academic aid.

Tutoring Approach:

I do not believe in rote memorization - I think knowledge is best attainted through conversations and making connections to our lives. I like using anecdotes, imagery and stories to help information settle in. Most of all, I recognize that each student has a unique learning style and I'm excited to help discover what yours is!
